Duke

We often here of scenarios where the news is presented from an agenda point of view rather than a fact based story. One of the best examples of that has been brought back into the news with the recent confession of Crystal Mangum. She was the Black girl who accused three White Lacrosse players of rape. The story became national at a time when social media was not dominant like it is today.  It has all of the necessary ingredients. The was race, sex and class all rolled into one story. The girl was a poorly educated Black and the boys were privileged Whites.   They were deemed guilty from the start. University professors from around the country joined in with the Duke where 88 professors signed a letter condemning the actions of the players.   All the major networks reported the guilt and watched their ratings rise.  This added impetus to the Metoo movement that had just started  In this day and age fast moving stories can get out of hand in a hurry.
